Magdalena, New Mexico – Magdalena is a wonderful little village on Hwy 60 and sees many travelors along the transcontinental highway. A new art gallery and gift shop has just opened, adding to the growing art presence of this high-country town.
Wild Horse Gallery is the creation of Ed Ericksen, a well-known Socorroan and artist who is “having a ball” with his newest venture. The gallery, in the renovated former office for the Palomino Motel, has an inviting porch and large display windows, already reflecting the glass work of Lucy Garica and others. Inside, two rooms hold an assortment of gifts and souvenirs. It’s all nicely arranged so customers can take their time and look. One of the first things you’ll notice is the collection of crystals and fossils set on shelves around the room. Rocks and minerals are some of his fastest moving items, Ericksen said.
He recently added Native American paintings and also sells some of his own work. Uniquely fashioned turquoise necklaces and finely inlaid bracelets are displayed behind the counter. And much of the room is devoted to shelves of pottery, placemats and other weavings, along with more crystals. Post cards and note cards, candles and chile products from New Mexico add to the mix of useful, and fun gifts.
The Wild Horse Gallery is open Tuesday through Saturday from 10 am to 5:30 pm. Drop in and say Hi to Ed and enjoy his new venture, you’re sure to find something you like and something for a gift as well.
